Department reviewed the proposed paint booth locations proximity to the other stores. Mr. Blazek said the buildings were fully equipped with sprinklers and the walls will meet fire code ratings. Mr. Lasko advised that due to the close proximity to the City Club and Bob Evens restaurant odors, fumes and other issues could have a negative impact on neighbors. Therefore odor, emission and Fire Department reports will be required. Mr. Blazek felt that as they were not in proximity to residential neighborhoods where people are outdoors there should be no odor issues. They will follow all fire, paint booth, and building code requirements pertaining to ventilating. Ms. Wenger advised that although the apartment/condo complex near the site was not notified they are one parcel away from being notified so there is an issue of residents. The commission is concerned how cars would be parked, stored and maneuvered around the site as they are being worked on without affecting the existing businesses at the site. If parts are backordered cars could start stacking up as the tenant is taking in work. The applicants believed that it was a one man operation with a small office and one work station which can only do so much work at a time. If his business grows he would have to expand or move to a larger location. Mr. Cotner felt that the tenant should be present to address the cominission as neither the architect nor owners are car repairmen or know exactly the extent of work that will be taking place in the garage. Mr. Reports said that they would address the rooftop units, landscaping and require the tenant to be present for the next meeting. Mr. Lasko voiced that the commission was requesting a report from the Fire Department pertaining to the proposed plans. Furthermore the commission would table the matter until all required documents and reports are submitted for both the development and the conditional use permit. The clerk gave the applicant a copy of the conditional use permit requirements as well as a copy of the proposed changes in Ordinance 2006-162 to assist them in understanding what is required to be submitted. J. Lasko moved to table Brooklor LLC.; PP# 236-01-002 Lorain Road their proposal which consists of a conditional use permit and exterior modifications to existing building to accommodate a new auto repair shop. G. Malone seconded the motion which was unanimously approved. VI. COMIVIUNICATIONS: ? Ordinance No 2006-162: An ordinance amending chapter 1118 of the Zoning Code in order to update and change the procedure for granting and revoking conditional use permits. Ms. Wenger reported that through the advisory committee's ongoing review of the city ordinances sections arise which have not been kept up to date with current codes. She has submitted an entirely new chapter 1118. The update includes standards which each district will fall into. New procedures in 1118.02 will reference chapter 1126 which all applicants must follow. A section reviews a cohesive procedure for giving public notices. Under approval the roll of Council is enhanced and allows Council to request and receive additional testimony and evidence when administering their determination. Section 1118.03 lists general issues which can apply to any use. Subsection G gives Planning & Design Commission the ability to place conditions on approval which will assist in lowering possible impacts to neighboring properties. 10
